AURORA | Two people were forced from their west Aurora house after fire broke out late Saturday, causing extensive damage to their home, according to Aurora Fire Rescue officials.
There were no injuries reported from the fire.
Residents called 911 to report smoke inside their house in the 1000 block of Worchester Street at about 11:30 p.m., according to Aurora Fire Rescue spokesperson Eric Ross.
“Upon discovering the fire, the residents quickly evacuated the home and called 911,” Ross said. “Multiple additional 911 calls were received reporting the fire, prompting Battalion 2 to upgrade the incident to a working fire while crews were en route.”
Firefighters ensured no one was inside the home and attacked the fire, calling it about 10 minutes after the fire was reported.
“The fire was determined to be accidental in nature and caused by an electrical issue,” Ross said.
